Pauillac Grand Cru
Structured, noble Pauillac is the royal match for filet Wellington — the most prestigious dish deserves the most prestigious wine.
Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Merlot-dominant 60-80% with Cabernet Franc, limestone plateau of right-bank Bordeaux) — candied cherry, cedar, dark chocolate and silky tannins velvety accompany the puff pastry and mushrooms of beef Wellington; Merlot roundness wrapping the golden buttered crust, candied cherry echoing the mandoline-chopped Paris-mushroom-truffle duxelles.
Barolo
Barolo (100% Nebbiolo on the Langhe hills south of Alba in Piedmont, minimum 38 months ageing including 18 in wood) — dried rose, sour cherry, tar and leather accompany filet Wellington in Italo-British version; Nebbiolo tannic structure holding rare-cooked Charolais fillet (50°C core), noble oxidative notes echoing porcini-black-truffle duxelles.
